Bournemouth council claim 5,000 jobs would be lost in Dorset if the Navitus Bay wind farm project goes ahead.
Navitus Bay Development Ltd (NBDL) is a joint venture between EDF Energy Renewables and Eneco Wind UK Ltd. It wants to construct and operate ‘Navitus Bay Wind Park’ in Poole Bay (between the Purbecks and the Isle of Wight).
The developer has applied for consent to construct up to 194 turbines. Turbines up to 200 metres tall are currently planned.
